[It is about 7:30 am in the morning. Stella and Blanche are near Lake Pontchartrain out for a morning stroll. This is after Stanley has left for work. Stella has on a blue sundress with a white Sunday hat with a blue tie around the hat to match the color of her dress. Blanche has on a pink pants suit with a white rose on her hat. The area has a few runners come by throughout the play and some walking their dog as well.]
STELLA: How was your trip sister?
BLANCHE: I didn’t like it. Not one bit. I requested for a seat near the from. Away from the noise. You know what they did Stella?
STELLA: What did they do?
BLANCHE: They placed me near family with a crying baby, Stella. Then it threw up on me! Just discussing. The nerve of them, to try to …show more content…
Well at least you are not working. That’s a man job to work and be taken care of. Stella! You could have stayed and helped me with Belle Reve. You didn’t help me. [rudely] That was your job to do. Not mine.
STELLA: [annoyed and takes a breath in and then out] I had to move on Blanche. [softly spoken] It wasn’t like you wanted me there. I thought you had all of it under control.
BLANCHE: [with a sad and surprised look] You thought I had it all under control? It fell apart as soon as you left Stella. Well—anyhow—Let’s talk about Stanley. He doesn’t seem very professional. You were supposed to marry a gentleman. Father raised us to want and have the best.
STELLA: [in a strong passive and nurturing voice] I got the best Blanche. He takes care of me. He takes care of the house. I don’t want any other man… That is what you wanted of me.
BLANCHE: [concerned voice] Is it wrong for me to want the best for you Stella? I took on more because I wanted you to be happy Stella.
STELLA: [in a reassuring voice] Blanche, [a quick pause and happy tone] He treats me very…. [she makes a small shy smirk as in a day dream]
[Stella gets up off the bench and grabs Blanche by the hands and they begin to walk off the stage. Subtle happy music begins to play
